Rack Mounting
Use four screws to attach the PT switch to a standard rack.
ote: Two additional
rack-mount ears can be
ordered as an option. Use
them to secure the rear of
the chassis in high-vibration
environments.
Wiring Requirements
WARNING
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or
wiring your Moxa PowerTrans Switch.
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and
common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the
maximum current allowable for each wire size.
If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could
overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.
Grounding Moxa PowerTrans Switch
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the
ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.

Wiring the Power Inputs
The PT series of switches supports dual redundant power supplies: “Power
Supply 1 (PWR1)” and “Power Supply 2 (PWR2)”. The connections for PWR1,
PWR2 and the RELAY are located on the terminal block. The front view of the
terminal block connectors are shown below.
Wiring the Relay Contact
Each PT switch has one relay output. Refer to the next section for detailed
instructions on how to connect the wires to the terminal block connector, and
how to attach the terminal block connector to the terminal block receptor.
FAULT: The relay contact of the 10-pin terminal block connector are used to
detect user-configured events. The two wires attached to the RELAY contacts
form an open circuit when a user-configured event is triggered. If a
user-configured event does not occur, the RELAY circuit will be closed.
Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs
Each PT switch has two sets of power inputs: power input 1 and power input 2.
STEP 1: Insert the dual set positive/negative DC wires into PWR1 and PWR2
terminals (+ → pins 1, 9; - → pins 2, 10). Or insert the L/N AC wires into
PWR1 and PWR2 terminals (L → pin 1, 9; N → pin 2,10)
STEP 2: To keep the DC or AC wires from pulling loose, use a screwdriver to
tighten the wire-clamp screws on the front of the terminal block connector.
Note 1: The PT switch with dual power supplies uses PWR2 as the first priority
power input by default.
Note 2: For dielectric strength (HIPOT) test, users must remove the metal
jumper located on terminals 3, 4, and 7, 8 of the terminal block to avoid
damage.
